The Great Lakes Compact:
Introduction
|
Report Description:
Legislatures from the Great Lakes states are preparing to ratify the Great Lakes Compact. The compact was signed by Great Lakes governors and premieres in December 2005. The compact sets rules for use of Great Lakes water outside the lake basin. The city of Waukesha is seeking a permit to divert some of the water to solve problems with radium in existing well water. Critics fear allowing Waukesha an exemption while the compact is yet to be legalized will set a dangerous precedent which could lead to exports well outside the Great Lakes Basin.
